The apartment was comfortable with views over the city. There was a nice temple and some very run down buildings which people lived in opposite. Achara doesn't live in Bangkok but she organised an airport pick up for us. This was more expensive than a taxi but very comfortable and it was easy to find our driver who didn't speak english but was friendly. The apartment is comfortable with air conditioning in every room and plenty of cupboard space. The kitchen is more like a kitchenette but we didn't cook. We did put food in the fridge and it was good for preparing snacks. There were shops very close and a night market to buy local food.
They had overlooked the bathroom cleaning but when I let Ann (the local manager) know, she arranged for it to be sorted out straight away. It is fairly close to the BTS skytrain which was convenient and there are plenty of little restaurants and shops to get a something to eat. The pool was lovely and a big hit with the kids who were a bit shocked by Bangkok. If you want to experience life in the suburbs, this is a good place to stay. There weren't many tourists here at all and you really feel like you are amongst Thai people. This was what we were after.
